§12-98.
   
   When a cause of action accrues against a person and that person is out
   of the state or has concealed himself, the period limited for the
   commencement of the action shall not begin to run until he comes into
   the state, or while he is concealed. If, after a cause of action
   accrues against a person and that person leaves the state or conceals
   himself, the time of his absence or concealment shall not be computed
   as any part of the period within which the action must be brought.
   Provided, however, that if any statute which extends the exercise of
   personal jurisdiction of courts over a person or corporation based
   upon service outside this state, or based upon substituted service
   upon an official of this or any other state or nation, or based upon
   service by publication permits the courts of this state to acquire
   personal jurisdiction over the person, the period of his absence or
   concealment shall be computed as part of the period within which the
   action must be brought.
